Vice President Kashim Shettima has reiterated the determination of President Bola Tinubu to end the reign of terror in the South East.
Shettima called the brains behind the incessant security threats in the region as self-serving criminals and persons taking advantage of the security situation to foster their dangerous political agenda.
He spoke in Bende, Abia State, during the unveiling of the Peace in South East Project (PISE-P), an initiative of House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu.
Tinubu,according to the Vice President, has “been concerned about the extensive economic devastation inflicted by non-state actors on this beautiful region since we took office.
“He is acutely aware that our commitment to Nigeria’s future remains incomplete as long as we grapple with the sinister operations of economic saboteurs who masquerade as advocates for the Ndi-Igbo.”
Shettima’s spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha further quoted him as saying: “That’s why he’s determined to utilize all available resources to ensure that the peace we’re establishing in this region is not cosmetic, and we can’t guarantee it unless all of us see through the falsehoods and propaganda that have become weapons against our unity.”
Senator Shettima noted that the gory activities of the criminals holding the South East captive are self-serving and do not in any way represent the interests of Ndi-Igbo and the entire country.
